Mini Stephen world - medicine bottles

Tonight I made bottles out of beads.  Like a madwoman.  Like a banshee.  Because you know how those banshees love to make bottles.

And a magnifying glass.  They're not finished.  I need to add the lens, and I need to distress them all, with spilled medicine and little labels and grime and age.

I'm a tired madwoman.



I'll buy some bottles too, but these will be the general background props.  Kind of cute?

Thanks! Yeah, I've made a few pretty bottles in my time, but my house lady can only use so many bottles of perfume and bath salts and lotions. It was fun with these to make lots of them. I think I could quickly become addicted! But it was hard, actually, to make these NOT look like pretty perfume bottles. It's hard to find beads that aren't shiny or sparkly or faceted or irridescent or embedded with foil or bright colors, etc.

I have found that making anything with beads can be addictive:)

Ah, very true.

You know - I never thought about it before, but I bet the dollhouse center of the brain shares space with the bead center. They're both all about TINY things and creativity...

Definitely! I know I have been obsessed with both from the same time, at an early age...they must be connected:)
